am sorry - i am rather new to this "thread" - but the general question
from me would be:
if you use GNU (ie gcc compiler) - for example like djgpp or mingw32 -
then do you have to make source code available - or is there any monetary
issues - ie paying for use?
If so - how does that stack up against _not_ compiling the final product
with those compilers but still _developing_ code (eg debugging, and even
earlier stage - coding of you project). Then what if one simply says - ok
now my product is working - what if one then goes and buys commercial
version and compiles the final product that was developed with other
tools - would one still have to pay to djgpp/mingw32/cygwin (for using
those in development stage)?
